About Novig

Novig is building America's #1 sports prediction market. Our mission is to financialize and democratize sports trading - taking a closed system run by casinos and turning it into a fair, efficient, two-sided market where the power sits with users.

With Novig recently becoming a CFTC-designated market — the fastest designation of its kind in US history— we're bringing the prediction market built for sports fans nationwide.

We're backed by some of Silicon Valley's top investors — Pantera, Forerunner, Lux, NFX, Paul Graham, and Joe Montana — who have collectively invested over $100M behind this vision.

About the Role

As a Security Engineer, you'll help build the systems that make security proactive and scalable: automation pipelines, AI agents, and policy-as-code controls that handle vulnerability management, compliance enforcement, and identity security without requiring constant human intervention. This is a hands‑on role where you'll go deep on the tools and pipelines you own, sharpen your craft across core areas of security engineering, and turn well-scoped problems into reliable, lasting solutions. What you build here becomes part of the security foundation the company scales on, and if you want to see your work meaningfully reduce risk across an entire organization, this is that job.

Who you are and what you will do

• Own focused security engineering tasks and deliver them reliably
• Build and maintain SOAR workflows and SIEM integrations that automate detection, triage, and response across our infrastructure
• Develop AI agents and LLM‑powered automation to handle security tasks that would otherwise require continuous manual oversight
• Own vulnerability management end-to-end: scanning, prioritization, and automated remediation pipelines
• Implement compliance and policy as code, turning security requirements into enforceable, auditable controls
• Harden cloud environments and embed security scanning into IaC pipelines (Terraform, CDK, etc.)
• Manage and improve IAM systems – access controls, privilege boundaries, and identity lifecycle automation
• Integrate and operate MDM/EDR platforms, ensuring endpoint visibility and enforcement at scale
• Partner cross-functionally with infrastructure, engineering, and compliance teams to embed security earlier in the development lifecycle

Compensation & benefits

• $150k – $200k base, benchmarked at top-tier tech companies
• Meaningful equity for every employee, regardless of role
• 100% health premiums covered
• 99% dental & vision covered
• 401(k) with 4% company match
• HSA + $1,080 annual company contribution
• $50/monthly company contribution to employee transit
• $27/day lunch stipend when working from our NYC office
• $35/day dinner stipend when working from the NYC office after 6:30pm
